ARJ Help screen.
Hotkeys:
This board uses a "hotkey" system, to activate any menu command simply hit
the key highlighted, usually in parentheses (), and it will execute. There
is no need to hit <enter> to activate a key.
Commands:
(H) If you are reading this screen, it is assumed that you know what
(H) does.
(1) This key (and the other numbered keys) will give you a protocol
(2) screen. You choose whatever protocol you prefer, I suggest Zmodem
(3) if your terminal program supports it. The file transmission will
then commence.
(1) Specifically, this key will send the latest version of the
self-extracting archive containing all the ARJ files, everything
required to compress and extract files.
(2) This key will send the latest version of UNARJ, the programmers
utility bundle that includes the structures and requirements for
creating your own extraction utility.
(3) This is to send the current version of ARJMENU, a menu-driven
utility that makes ARJ a bit simpler to use. There are other menu-
driven utilities that support ARJ, including Stereo Shell and SHEZ,
but these are not specifically ARJ-related so are not put here.
Call with your real name to download these.
(4) This sends the short text file HOW2ARJ.TXT. The docs in ARJ are
very complete, but for new users can be a bit complex. This file
explains the basics (VERY BASIC) of extracting a file with ARJ, and
creating a new archive. Handy for new users.
(M) Leaves a message to the sysop of this bullitin board. NOTE: Do
NOT expect a reply unless you leave a name, the name at the top of
the message will be ARJ, which means very little. If you have a
question, leave your name and a voice phone number and I will try to
contact you, unless you are outside the continental US.
(My bills are bad enough...)
(G) Goodbye. Disconnects you from the board, allowing you to use your
new-found ARJ files.
Hopefully this screen will clear up most questions, if you do have
one feel free to leave a (M)essage with your questions. Also feel free to
drop by with your "real" name, as this board offers free access and NO file
ratios. Any user can download any number of files they wish, uploads are NOT
required by anyone.
